the loft works well for adults, it is different , so you just have to have a think a bit different when using it, but practical and useful

What do you mean "without a front wheel chock"? As in you don't have one, or is it you don't want to use one? Because they work well in a toy hauler. I transport my liter race bike in the 37RB with a Baxley chock and a Canyon Dancer with tie downs to secure it. Works great. Have also used a Condor with a big bike and they work well. Trying to tie down a big cruiser without some kind of chock or restraint system seems like it could easily end in tears. A center stand makes it a little more doable. Though I still strongly recommend a Canyon Dancer. Next year I'm probably going to get the Pit Bill restraint system, but I don't think they will work for the full dress Hogs.

Securing a Can Am Spyder is easy...

(Okay: I know that wasn't helpful... but I felt like bragging a little bit! )

I got a BK-1000 bike chock from Hitch Source. It works great in my 2018 37RB. I have a Harley Ultra Limited. Only 2 straps needed. Loading is an adventure. You have to maintain enough speed to get all the way up the ramp with both wheels. Once you figure out the right speed it is a piece of cake. Thanks for the info.

No problem, cool. Another tip if you haven't tried it -- take the minute to drop the front hydraulic jacks to raise the front makes a pretty big difference in the ramp angle. If you're loading someplace with a crappy approach like gravel, this makes it way better. So easy it almost feels like cheating...

On the return from purchase trip we found a few small items that need adjusting that were missed in the delivery inspection. No big deal, I've just started a to do list for me to fix.

Other than the drive to Maryland and then a short hop up to Gettysburg where we will be working until November the coach will be parked.

Any owners here that can share your impression with me. Things to look for or watch out for?

One question I do have is.....where is the antenna booster switch? Is there one?
I am looking at buying a 37rb and wanted to know how yours has worked out so far good and the bad, thank you Bobby
